New Grower 12/12 lighting question ???

[JasL]

okay so my 4'x4' tent is basically full of autos at about 6 weeks( 4 weeks flower). i also have an 8 ball kush that would really like to be flowered. would my autos finish ok if i switch to 12/12 now? i am at 20/4 presently.

They will finish. But much smaller which = less yield. I wouldn't recommend it. If you can, let it roll out until the autos finish and then flip it. Or get another space, or outside.
You can take trimming from her whether you use them or not to keep her smaller. Just keep in mind that she will double or triple in size after the lights are flipped to 12/12.

or take it out and put in in the closet for 8 hrs a day...lol

its already 7 weeks old. ( the kush) i guess it would be okay to veg for 5 or 6 more weeks ? isn't stressful for a plant to veg too long?

no problem with the veg... cut it back if its in your way... take a bunch of cuttings and put right into promix spray only once with water and place them under your canopy where they get almost no light, and in 2 weeks or so you will have a bunch of kusky kush madness...

Negative. You can veg a photo for as long as you want. It's just going to keep growing though, so depending on your space you may have to trim her or tie her down or something. She will hulk out on 12/12.

sounds like a plan. kush you're just gonna have to wait if its gonna cut into my yield that much. man she is really gonna be a monster though. thats not such a bad thing right?

No problem man, that's one of the reasons why we're here, to help.

Nope not a problem at all as long as you can handle the size. You can pull several oz's off of large photos. Upwards of a pound.
